Genesis 27:1-5,15-29. Matthew 9:14-17

Holiness is the Father's gift : it is not earned or bought by any discipline or action. Only commitment to the Father's will and loving purpose will bring the soul to fullness and perfection. You are given glimpses of the joy and glory of the eternal, loving Presence , beloved of the Father : I speak to you, I speak to all faithfully committed in Our saving, sanctifying love. Such glimpses leave their imprint on the human mind and bring joy and understanding which nothing can destroy.

Yet there is need for constant offering of the total self to the Father's loving purpose for you and for all within His glorious world. Such often calls for sacrifice and sometimes suffering. And I invite all who are in Me and I in them to share the mystery of Gethsemane and the pain of Golgotha . So will they know the glory of My resurrection and the power and joy and glory of my risen life.
